Credit Units: 03
GUIDELINES FOR TERM PAPER

The procedure for writing a term paper may consists of the following steps: 1. Choosing a subject 2. Finding sources of materials 3. Collecting the notes 4. Outlining the paper 5. Writing the first draft 6. Editing & preparing the final paper 1. Choosing a Subject The subject chosen should not be too general. 2. Finding Sources of materials a) The material sources should be not more than 10 years old unless the nature of the paper is such that it involves examining older writings from a historical point of view. b) Begin by making a list of subject-headings under which you might expect the subject to be listed. c) The sources could be books and magazines articles, news stories, periodicals, scientific journals etc. 3. Collecting the notes Skim through sources, locating the useful material, then make good notes of it, including quotes and information for footnotes. a) Get facts, not just opinions. Compare the facts with author's conclusion. b) In research studies, notice the methods and procedures, results & conclusions. c) Check cross references. 4. Outlining the paper a) Review notes to find main sub-divisions of the subject. b) Sort the collected material again under each main division to find sub-sections for outline so that it begins to look more coherent and takes on a definite structure. If it does not, try going back and sorting again for main divisions, to see if another general pattern is possible. 5. Writing the first draft Write the paper around the outline, being sure that you indicate in the first part of the paper what its purpose is. You may follow the following: a) statement of purpose b) main body of the paper c) statement of summary and conclusion Avoid short, bumpy sentences and long straggling sentences with more than one main ideas. 6. Editing & Preparing the final Paper a) Before writing a term paper, you should ensure you have a question which you attempt to answer in your paper. This question should be kept in mind throughout the paper. Include only information/ details/ analyses of relevance to the question at hand. Sometimes, the relevance of a particular section may be clear to you but not to your readers. To avoid this, ensure you briefly explain the relevance of every section. b) Read the paper to ensure that the language is not awkward, and that it "flows" properly. c) Check for proper spelling, phrasing and sentence construction. d) Check for proper form on footnotes, quotes, and punctuation. e) Check to see that quotations serve one of the following purposes: (i) Show evidence of what an author has said. (ii) Avoid misrepresentation through restatement. (iii) Save unnecessary writing when ideas have been well expressed by the original author.
f) Check for proper form on tables and graphs. Be certain that any table or graph is self-explanatory. Term papers should be composed of the following sections: 1) Title page 2) Table of contents 3) Introduction 4) Review 5) Discussion & Conclusion 6) References 7) Appendix Generally, the introduction, discussion, conclusion and bibliography part should account for a third of the paper and the review part should be two thirds of the paper. Discussion The discussion section either follows the results or may alternatively be integrated in the results section. The section should consist of a discussion of the results of the study focusing on the question posed in the research paper. Conclusion The conclusion is often thought of as the easiest part of the paper but should by no means be disregarded. There are a number of key components which should not be omitted. These include: a) summary of question posed b) summary of findings c) summary of main limitations of the study at hand d) details of possibilities for related future research References From the very beginning of a research project, you should be careful to note all details of articles gathered. The bibliography should contain ALL references included in the paper. References not included in the text in any form should NOT be included in the bibliography. The key to a good bibliography is consistency. Choose a particular convention and stick to this. Bibliographical conventions Monographs Crystal, D. (2001), Language and the internet.

SUMMER INTERNSHIP
GUIDELINES FOR INTERNSHIP FILE

There are certain phases of every Interns professional development that cannot be effectively taught in the academic environment. These facets can only be learned through direct, on-the-job experience working with successful professionals and experts in the field. The internship program can best be described as an attempt to institutionalise efforts to bridge the gap between the professional world and the academic institutions. Entire effort in internship is in terms of extending the program of education and evaluation beyond the classroom of a university or institution. The educational process in the internship course seeks out and focuses attention on many latent attributes, which do not surface in the normal class room situations. These attributes are intellectual ability, professional judgment and decision making ability, inter-disciplinary approach, skills for data handling, ability in written and oral presentation, sense of responsibility etc. In order to achieve these objectives, each student will maintain a file (Internship File). The Internship File aims to encourage students to keep a personal record of their learning and achievement throughout the Programme. It can be used as the basis for lifelong learning and for job applications. Items can be drawn from activities completed in the course modules and from the workplace to demonstrate learning and personal development. The File will assess the students analytical skills and ability to present supportive evidence, whilst demonstrating understanding of their organization, its needs and their own personal contribution to the organization. The layout guidelines for the Internship File: A4 size Paper font: Arial (10 points) or Times New Roman (12 points) line spacing: 1.5 top and bottom margins: 1 inch/ 2.5 cm; left and right margins: 1.25 inches/ 3 cm
The File will include five sections in the order described below. The content and comprehensiveness of the main body and appendices of the report should include the following: 1. The Title Page--Title - An Internship Experience Report For (Your Name), name of internship organization, name of the Supervisor/Guide and his/her designation, date started and completed, and number of credits for which the report is submitted. 2. Table of Content--an outline of the contents by topics and subtopics with the page number and location of each section. 3. Introduction--short, but should include how and why you obtained the internship experience position and the relationship it has to your professional and career goals. 4. Main Body--should include but not be limited to daily tasks performed. Major projects contributed to, dates, hours on task, observations and feelings, meetings attended and their purposes, listing of tools and materials and their suppliers, and photographs if possible of projects, buildings and co-workers. 5. Appendices--include pamphlets, forms, charts, brochures, technical and descriptive literature, graphs and other information related to your Internship experience. The Main Body will have three sections and will include the following items which will be evaluated for the final assessment:-
1. An analysis of the company/organization in which the student is working 2. A personal review of the students management skills and how they have been developed through the
programme.
3. The research report that the student has prepared on the project assigned to him by the organization.
(Incase a student is not assigned a specific research project in the organization, he has to select any one aspect of the organization and prepare a research report on it).
ASSESSMENT OF THE INTERNSHIP FILE

The student will be provided with the Student Assessment Record (SAR) to be placed in front of the Internship File. Each item in the SAR is ticked off when it is completed successfully. The faculty will also assess each item as it is completed. The SAR will be signed by the student and by the faculty to indicate that the File is the students own work. It will also ensure regularity and meeting the dealines.

DISSERTATION
The Aims of the Dissertation

The aim of the dissertation is to provide you with an opportunity to further your intellectual and personal development in your chosen field by undertaking a significant practical unit of activity, having an educational value at a level commensurate with the award of your degree The dissertation can be defined as a scholarly inquiry into a problem or issues, involving a systematic approach to gathering and analysis of information / data, leading to production of a structured report.
The Dissertation Topic

It is usual to give you some discretion in the choice of topic for the dissertation and the approach to be adopted. You will need to ensure that your dissertation is related to your field of specialisation. Deciding this is often the most difficult part of the dissertation process, and perhaps, you have been thinking of a topic for some time. It is important to distinguish here between dissertation topic and dissertation title. The topic is the specific area that you wish to investigate. The title may not be decided until the dissertation has been written so as to reflect its content properly. Few restrictions are placed on the choice of the topic. Normally we would expect it to be: relevant to business, defined broadly; related to one or more of the subjects or areas of study within the core program and specialisation stream; clearly focused so as to facilitate an in-depth approach, subject to the availability of adequate sources of information and to your own knowledge; of value and interest to you and your personal and professional development.
Planning your dissertation

This will entail following: Selecting a topic for investigation. Establishing the precise focus of your study by deciding on the aims and objectives of the dissertation, or formulating questions to be investigated. Consider very carefully what is worth investigating and its feasibility. Drawing up initial dissertation outlines considering the aims and objectives of the dissertation. Workout various stages of dissertation Devising a timetable to ensure that all stages of dissertation are completed in time. The timetable should include writing of the dissertation and regular meetings with your dissertation guide.
The dissertation plan or outline

It is recommended that you should have a dissertation plan to guide you right from the outset. Essentially, the dissertation plan is an outline of what you intend to do, chapter wise and therefore should reflect the aims and objectives of your dissertation. There are several reasons for having a dissertation plan It provides a focus to your thoughts. It provides your faculty-guide with an opportunity, at an early stage of your work, to make constructive comments and help guide the direction of your research. The writing of a plan is the first formal stage of the writing process, and therefore helps build up your confidence. In many ways, the plan encourages you to come to terms with the reading, thinking and writing in a systematic and integrated way, with plenty of time left for changes. Finally, the dissertation plan generally provides a revision point in the development of your dissertation report in order to allow appropriate changes in the scope and even direction of your work as it progresses.
Keeping records
This includes the following: Making a note of everything you read; including those discarded. Ensuring that when recording sources, authors name and initials, date of publication, title, place of publication and publisher are included. (You may consider starting a card index or database from the outset). Making an accurate note of all quotations at the time you read them. Make clear what is a direct a direct quotation and what is your paraphrase.
Dissertation format
All students must follow the following rules in submitting their dissertation. Front page should provide title, author, Name of degree/diploma and the date of submission. Second page should be the table of contents giving page references for each chapter and section. The next page should be the table of appendices, graphs and tables giving titles and page references. Next to follow should be a synopsis or abstract of the dissertation (approximately 500 words) titled: Executive Summary Next is the acknowledgements. Chapter I should be a general introduction, giving the background to the dissertation, the objectives of the dissertation, the rationale for the dissertation, the plan, methodological issues and problems. The limitations of the dissertation should also be hinted in this chapter. Other chapters will constitute the body of the dissertation. The number of chapters and their sequence will usually vary depending on, among others, on a critical review of the previous relevant work relating to your major findings, a discussion of their implications, and conclusions, possibly with a suggestion of the direction of future research on the area. After this concluding chapter, you should give a list of all the references you have used. These should be cross - references with your text. For articles from journals, the following details are required e.g. Draper P and Pandyal K. 1991, The Investment Trust Discount Revisited, Journal of Business Finance and Accounting, Vol18, No6, Nov, pp 791-832. For books, the following details are required: Levi, M. 1996, International Financial Management, Prentice Hall, New York, 3rd Ed, 1996 Finally, you should give any appendices. These should only include relevant statistical data or material that cannot be fitted into the above categories.
Guidelines for the assessment of the dissertation

While evaluating the dissertation, faculty guide will consider the following aspects: 1. Has the student made a clear statement of the objective or objective(s). 2. If there is more than one objective, do these constitute parts of a whole? 3. Has the student developed an appropriate analytical framework for addressing the problem at hand. 4. Is this based on up-to-date developments in the topic area? 5. Has the student collected information / data suitable to the frameworks? 6. Are the techniques employed by the student to analyse the data / information appropriate and relevant? 7. Has the student succeeded in drawing conclusion form the analysis? 8.
